Saddened Hearts at Richmond PD!
It is with a heavy heart that we must tell everyone that our K-9, Jackie, a German Sheppard, has been diagnosed with cancer. She is a single trained drug dog and has served the residents of Fort Bend County, and Texas, well. She has more then made up her cost with over 250 million dollars in hits on money being carried back to the drug cartels in Mexico, and hundreds of pounds of illicit drugs being smuggled into Texas. She hasn’t been given much time to live and will be retired. Officer Ganey, who served as Jackie’s partner and care taker, is heart broken. We are in the process of looking for another K-9 partner for him.
Please keep Jackie and Officer Ganey in your thoughts.

Just to let you know!!!
Houston Fire Department is reporting a gas cloud heading towards Fort Bend County from the Houston area. It appears that a strong natural gas odor started out at the area of 610 and McCarty in Houston and is now headed towards Fort Bend County. Houston Fire Department does not know the origination of the cloud and they do not have any meter activation. HFD states it is more a nuisance odor at this time, and there are no injuries reported.
This is simply to keep citizens informed and should not be cause for alarm at this time.

Don't Forget, Prescription Drug Take Back Day This Saturday, October 27, 2018.
Richmond Police Department taking back unwanted prescription drugs October 27, 2018
[Richmond, TX] – On Saturday, October 27, 2018, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Richmond Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration will give the public its 16th opportunity in 7 years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your pills for disposal to the Richmond Police Department at 600 Preston Street Richmond, TX 77469. (The DEA cannot accept liquids or needles or sharps, only pills or patches.) The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
Last fall Americans turned in 456 tons (912,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at more than 5,300 sites operated by the DEA and almost 4,300 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 14 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in more than 9 million pounds—more than 4,500 tons—of pills.
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows year after year that the majority of misused and abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including someone else’s medication being stolen from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.
For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs or about the April 28 Take Back Day event, go to www.DEATakeBack.com

The Richmond Police will be participating in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on October 27, 2018, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
The Richmond Police Department, 600 Preston Street Richmond, TX 77469 will be a drop off location for this event.
If you don’t properly dispose of the unused or expired prescription drugs in your home, they might find a new one.
Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to accidental poisoning, overdose, and abuse. Pharmaceutical drugs can be just as dangerous as street drugs when taken without a prescription or a doctor’s supervision.
The non-medical use of prescription drugs ranks second only to marijuana as the most common form of drug abuse in America. The majority of teenagers abusing prescription drugs get them from family and friends — and the home medicine cabinet. Unused prescription drugs thrown in the trash can be retrieved and abused or illegally sold. Unused drugs that are flushed contaminate the water supply. Proper disposal of unused drugs saves lives and protects the environment.
Take-back programs are the best way to dispose of old drugs. But if a program is not available: • Take the meds out of their bottles; • Mix them with something unappealing like used kitty litter or coffee grounds; • Seal them in a bag or disposable container, and throw that away.
For more information on prescription drug abuse, go to:
• www.DEA.gov
• www.GetSmartAboutDrugs.com
• www.JustThinkTwice.com
For further information, contact Lieutenant Lowell Neinast at (281) 342-2849

Okay folks, we are officially in the busiest part of the hurricane season. If you haven't heard there is a weather system out in the Gulf of Mexico and one that maybe in the Gulf next week. Now is a good time to make your preparations for not only these storms, but any future issues that may arise. One of the things that you can do is register with the Greater Harris County 9-1-1 Emergency Notification System (ENS). Its quick, its easy, and you can do it from your computer or smart device. As of right now there are only 35 households in the City of Richmond that have registered for this service. We really want to see that number rise. The ENS provides some of the following services: Haz-mat Incidents, Evacuations, and Shelter-in-place situations. We've made it easy for you to find them.

Richmond Police to Participate in “NATIONAL NIGHT OUT” OCTOBER 2, 2018
“National Night Out 2018” is scheduled for Tuesday, October 2, 2018 for the State of Texas. This year is the 35th anniversary for the National Night Out Program. Last year's National Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from over 15,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide.

The Richmond Police Department is a community oriented department which would like to encourage all citizens of Richmond to attend a National Night Out event in their neighborhood. There will be events scheduled throughout the city of Richmond this year. National Night Out will provide citizens with an opportunity to show their support and dedication to fighting crime in their neighborhoods and in our city.
